If I like Daphne...

Just out found that we are expecting a girl & beginning to make a list of names.

Daphne, which DH also likes, is my all time favourite but interested to see what else is out there.

I also love Arrietty.

I like Athena & Artemis but not enough to use.

I love literary/mythology inspired names and prefer those out of the top 200, but that's not a deal-breaker.

Middle name will be Kate (family tradition). Surname is Edwards.

Dido?

Fatkins · 24/07/2019 09:07

Isolde (I know one and it's so cute on a little girl)!

DISCLAIMER: I know next to nothing about Tristan and Isolde! Sorry if it's a horrible story 😬.

PS: it's pronounced iz-oll-duh.

Not sure on Dido but do like Isolde. Thank you 😊

Daphne is absolutely beautiful!!!!

FindaPenny · 24/07/2019 14:59

Phoebe or Diana, love pp choice of Cassandra. Really like your choice of Daphne too.

FindaPenny · 24/07/2019 15:01

I like Ariadne too, but it might be too mythical!

FindaPenny · 24/07/2019 15:04

Sorry to bombard you 🤣 but Penelope is lovely too.

Bentley111 · 24/07/2019 16:23

Glad Daphne is going down well!

I love Lyra but unfortunately I know 3 dogs with the name.

@FindaPenny adore Ariadne - have added to my list, thank you. I'm not a huge fan of Penelope but do like Persephone - sadly have used that already for a pet Blush

I do love Circe too but unsure if I'm brave enough for that if DH would even agree.
